About Character Counts

The Peters Township School District is the centerpiece of a community-based character building initiative known as Peters Township Character Counts (PTCC). PTCC is a collaboration of many community groups including the Chamber of Commerce, Municipal Government, Rotary, Ministerium and PTAs. This initiative has been the catalyst behind many inspirational and educational programs and philosophical changes in the community. The increased attention to character and sportsmanship in youth and interscholastic sports is among the most visible evidence of the initiative.
